I have the 22 inch Blackstone with the hard lid on a Blackstone stand. Haven't experienced any problem with keeping it lit but it did take a few turns starting it. I found a storage bag on Amazon that it fits perfectly inside and zips up nice and snug. I store mine in the bed of the TV. At home I purchased a storage box that holds all our extra items, grill, stand, genny, genny box to open the TV bed up for daily use. Easy enough to toss it back in before a trip. The grill storage bag was by ABM COM and bought on Amazon. $39.99. Fits perfect. They have bags to fit all sizes of Blackstones.
